markdienekes Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 I've lost a few interceptors, and was just wondering if anyone has any tips for this part of the game! Thanks for your time. My craft can shoot them down when they come upon the craft in the rear, but head on, I can't seem to down them. Rolling doesn't seem to work...

Gorlom Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Are you saying the plane doesn't roll or that rolling doesn't avoid the missile? MiGs can't roll. You need the F16 for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rolling doesn't seem to avoid it... maybe my timing is off. It is the F16. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markdienekes Posted October 18, 2012 Author Share Posted October 18, 2012 Hmm, my planes are still getting shot down by alien scouts in one or two shots, regardless of timing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorlom Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Have you looked at youtube "lets play" of Xenonauts for tips of how to do it? Do you know that you can press space to pause? Are you trying to roll early or late? if the missile intersects with your craft it hits afaik. so you aren't just safe because you pressed the dodge button your plane needs to be out of the way of the missile. If nothing of that helps I would suggest looking at the bug report forum to see if there are any reports there bout aircombat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markdienekes Posted October 18, 2012 Author Share Posted October 18, 2012 (edited) I've been pausing before rolling, pausing before using the evade, the enemy still hits with some sort of laser weapon, and wipes me out quickly... Probably shouldn't be sending 1 craft onto them, perhaps, but all three? Edited October 18, 2012 by markdienekes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buzzles Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Or just search the forum for the aircraft threads. There's one which is chocked full of the ways to win air combat under the current system very easily with only the very occasional loss.
